Micro-needling therapy system (MTS) for scalp
The Scalp Micro-Needling Therapy System (MTS), also known as dermarollers, uses tiny needles rolled over the scalp without causing surface damage. Micro-needling can be repeated frequently, with optimal results achieved by performing the procedure every 1-3 weeks for faster hair restoration. It’s beneficial for those with thinning hair as it promotes healthy hair growth and increases the thickness of existing hair follicles.
This minimally invasive procedure stimulates the scalp to release hair growth factors and platelets in the treated area, leading to the thickening of existing follicles.
Benefits of Scalp MTS:
-
Collagen redistribution: The ‘micro-injuries’ created by the needles help break down disorganized collagen and produce new, organized collagen.
-
Improved absorption of topical products: Topical treatments easily penetrate the subcutaneous and dermal layers of the scalp.
-
Increased protein provision: Stimulates the production of proteins such as fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived proteins.
Precautions for scalp care procedures:
-
Avoid if scalp infections or open wounds: Never use scalp care products if you have a scalp infection or open wounds.
-
Post-procedure care: Avoid hair coloring and washing your scalp on the day of and the day after the MTS procedure or scalp injections. Slight burning or tingling is normal but should subside by the next day.
-
Gentle care post-procedure: Avoid using harsh hair and scalp care products after the procedure to allow the scalp to heal.
MTS for the scalp is an innovative way to rejuvenate and strengthen the hair follicles, enhancing the overall health and appearance of the hair and scalp.
